Hello guys.Recently I ordered Redmi 5 ( 32 GB) for ₹8998 from Amazon.in and received the phone today. So I thought of sharing a few lines about the phone.
The phone looks pretty modern at hand due to its 18: 9 aspect display ratio. Looks are pretty nice and well balanced weight. When you first power it on, it gives you a heptic feedback and the typical MIUI 9.2 pops up.
As for the screen, I would say it is good for this price point. It is 720p HD screen and the colours are pretty well balanced.
As it is packed with 3 GB of RAM, therefore no sort of lagging is seen during normal usage. And RAM management is pretty good.
Out of 32 GB internal storage almost 22.GB is free for use.
As for the camera, the primary camera is a 12mp shooter and its performance is pretty impressive. It is packed with a led light.
The secondary camera is a 5mp sensor packed with a led light. But its performance in not that great.
The fingerprint sensor is placed below the primary camera and is very responsive. It unlocks the phone the moment your finger touches the sensor. It is also placed at the right place.
The performance of the phone is well balanced because of the 14nm octa core processor Snapdragon 450.
The battery life of the phone ( 3300 mAh) is also ok and should last a typical working day.
I am using my Jio sim card as my primary sim here and cellular network and 4G data connection is very good.
I also played some mid range games and the phone is handling them pretty good.
Overall it is a good phone and I think it is a good package within this price point.
Thank you.
